Analog Mammography Machine Price

As you can see from the table, analog mammography machines are the cheapest, and they have low service costs. The price of a mammography system in a good condition is typically 8.000 to 15.000 euros. However, with an analog unit, you also need a CR system to be able to produce images, therefore, it takes a bit longer to receive the images digitally.

These machines were the standard for many years but in 2000, the FDA approved the first full-field digital mammography machine. These systems dramatically improved image quality and patient flow. Therefore, use of analog mammography machines have decreased in recent years, especially because of the many advantages of a digital mammography system.

Price of Digital Mammography Machines with Tomosynthesis

And what about the digital mammography devices with tomosynthesis?

Tomosynthesis mammography systems are also known as “tomo” or 3D mammograms. These machines were introduced in 2011 and further contributed to the progress and quality of the images.

Due to the tomosynthesis option, practitioners can detect breast cancer earlier than ever before.
